Practicalities by Marguerite Duras

It's the women who upset the applecart. Between themselves they talk only about the practicalities of life, declares Duras in this collection of her transcribed conversations with friend Jerome Beaujour. Some of her free-ranging meditations are short and deceptively simple, while many are autobiographical and reveal her most intimate thoughts about motherhood, her struggle with alcohol, her love for a young man, and more.

Marguerite Duras was one of Europe's most distinguished authors. She is best recognized outside of France for her filmscript Hiroshima Mon Amour and her Prix Goncourt-winning novel THE LOVER, which was also adapted into a film. LA DOLEUR, BLUE EYES BLACK HAIR, SUMMER RAIN, and THE NORTH CHINA LOVER are among her other works. Marguerite Duras was born in Indochina in 1914 and died in 1996.
